• Use management/KVM ip addresses several areas of the UCS

  Hello

  We organize several servers UCS blades in two areas of the UCS. In all areas, we configured an IP ext-mgmt pool to join the MMIC of the blades. As our two infrastructure is developing, I was wondering if we could use the IP addresses that we use for pools in both areas?

  I read the guide management (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/G...) and as far as I understand it, if we use the inband IPv4 addresses these addresses are used between the fabric interconnects and server blades?

  So I could not addressed the KVM from "outside" so through the UCS Manager (equipment-> frame-> Server-> Actions "Console KVM"). Am I wrong? I did a few tests well failed to start KVM without our current configuration (IP ext-mgmt pool provides extrabande for each unique server IPv4 addresses).

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Martin

  I think that's not possible! as soon as you insert a blade, it will have an IP address from the ext-mgmt pool and assigns it to the MMIC! That's why this IP address is assigned to a chassis / slot, which means that if you move the blade to another location, most likely, it will get another address. It is a challenge, if you want a DNS entry for a blade / KVM access.

  connectivity issues are rejected as UCS UCS Director & MMIC are in the same network, have been tested with different servers for the same problem.

  Thank you!

  Hi,Cristobal

  Take a look at the compatibility table for Cisco UCS Manager, version 5.0

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/unified_computing/UCS/UCS-Director/...

  It is said that UCSD supports MMIC from 1.4 to 1.5.

  So, try to level UCSD 5.2 or 5.3.

• The review of the UCS and VCP

  Hi all

  I do not have a secure Channel and yet so I will at least make the test of the UCS?

  Is-Cisco has a system as they will allow us to test of the UCS, but they will not give us unless we are SECURE.

  Thank you

  Ismail

  Hi Ismail

  You can always take the test and still qualify as a Cisco Unified Computing Technology Specialist of the design and a Cisco Unified Computing Technology Support Specialist without a PCV.

  But if you're after Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Support Specialist, etc. then yes VCP is always a pre - req (I heard that there will be rejected in favour of a managed Cisco equivalent, but who is without merit)

  Unfortunatley (that I found) just passing examination VCP wasn't enough, but the VMware course is also a mandatory requirement for VCP VMware.

  Good luck with it.

• Replace the UCS - b2xx HARD drive

  We have a UCS with blades B200.

  One of the HARD drive led STATIC amber, (it is a HARD drive failure according to the documentation), but UCS Manager did no show any alert.

  My first question is... I see not awake in the UCS Manager? I have to turn on any kind of follow-up to the HARD drive?

  The HARD drive was reflected with RAID 1, then why has decided to install a replacement.

  We extracted the defective HARD drive and inserted a new (because they are Hot Swap we did with the server on).

  But now the UCS Manager is showing the HARD drive as a disc UNKNOWN, so he did not recognize it

  We rebooted the server with no luck.

  What should I do any kind of procedure of the UCS to recognize the new drive and rebuild the RAID 1 mirror?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Which firmware version are you running?

  In versions prior to 2.0, we had has very little followed HDD and reports. The status UNKNOWN to the driver after installing a new is also due to a bug known in versions 1.4 or previous.

  If you see the normal LEDs on the disc, then you know that the re - build is finished, you can also restart the blade and enter the optional ROM of LSI, and check the status of the drivers.

• Manager of the UCS of 1.2 update (1 d) to 1.3 (1o)

  I use the instructions in the UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_3_1.pdf to upgrade my equipment ucs.  There are several questions and I had.

  (1) it says to update the firmware for the IOM and wait until you activate the firmware on the fabric of interconnections that will restart the interconnection fabric and IOM, date on which IOM will be updated.  I did the firmware was not updated on IOM.  The backup version still shows 1.3 (1o) and the current version is 1.3 (1 c) IOM for, even if the fabric of interconnections successfully updated.  When I try to manually activate the firmware on the IOM, I get error combined modification.  The compatibility check failed. What is this?

  (2) I have treid activating the UCS Manager according to page 141 of the guide of version 1.2 (1 d) 1.3 (1o) and I find failed to start activation.  The check of the compatibiity failed. 

  (3) I tried to update the individual servers of 1.2 interface cards (1 d) to 1.3 (1o) and I will meet with the same errors of compatibility check.

  This is the first time I went through and tried to update the firmware on my new box of UCS.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  During the activation of the new firmware, you must check the box to ignore the compatibility check.

• Monitoring of virtual machines running on the UCS blades

  We are in the process of migration of servers HP rack to Cisco UCS blades. I have 4 blades UCS running ESXi and dΘmarrez from SAN. We have configured in HP SIM HP servers to monitor hardware issues and the status of the VM. Now Let's watch the material of the UCS in UCS Manager, but I still need to monitor the status of virtual machines. I looked at existing Solarwinds NPM we have all our ESXi HP servers to Solarwinds. What I've discovered, is that we cannot add the individual to NPM ESXi blades, because we can not configure SNMP (or we).

  Which means that migrate us from HP servers for UCS blades, we lose the ability to monitor the State of the CPU and VM.

  How people monitor their virtual machines in an environment of UCS?

  Thank you.

  We monitor our UCS ESXi 5 with SNMP hosts and use Solarwinds NPM.  It works well.  These are the commands that we send through our VMA (free VMware) server to a new host.

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password it

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password you @162.

  vicfg-snmp - root server - username - password e

  There's probably a way to do it on the console of the host, but I don't know what it could be.

• UCS to UCS UCS 2104XP 6248UP AND to 2208XP of the UCS 6120XP

  Hello

  1. UCS 6248UP is compatible with the UCS 2104XP? AND
  2. The UCS 6120XP is compatible with the UCS 2208XP?

  Thank you.

  Hi Michael,

  Coupling of the FI with the IOM shouldn't matter.

  With 2208 the number for the day of plane ports increased to 32, while they are 8 with 2104.

  The only requirment is to have a minimal version of 2.0(1m)

  Please visit the link below to confirm the same.

• Question of the UCS Manager

  Hello

  I have problem with manager Cisco UCS, after have logged you in the UCS Manager, I get an error.

  Print.PNG

  

  Cristobal,

  It certainly is a cause of what UCSM bug doesn't do what it is supposed to and the only bug which is really (according to the version you are using) is https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCum95854/?reffering_site=dumpcr and seems to be fixed in the latest versions...  2.2.2c; 2.2.3A; 2.5.1a; 3.0.2c (UCS Mini)

  Advice is to contact TAC for assistance (if necessary).

• The UCS Central + Disjoint layer 2

  We would like to migrate to use UCS Manager 5 cloves separated the Central use of UCS.  We are looking for the best way to set up a VLAN global everything using an infrastructure Disjoint Layer 2.  It seems I would have to create across the world and assign them to a profile in a BASKET for them to get pushed down to this POD, and then in the UCS Manager I would have to get in the VIRTUAL LAN Manager to assign the VLAN for the uplinks appropriate.  Is there a way that we can implement the Manager of vlan in Central UCS or maybe a way to push the VLAN down to the PODS at the beginning then do not remember to do only after the VLAN has been assigned to a profile?

  Hi Jason

  Check https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-35264

  1.3.1a release has the following features:

  ....

  Ability to push the VLAN / VSAN Global to areas of the UCS without using an association of Global SP

• How to configure the UCS Manager?

  Hi, this is the first time im using the Cisco server and we have Cisco c240. My task now to monitor this server using SCOM. Research, I understand that it will take to install/configure the UCS Manager. But I'm not really sure how to set it up, I know it's similar with Dell OMSA, but for the OMSA, just install the application. But how do the Cisco server?

  Hello

  Although it is not clearly documented, integration SCOM is supported only for the blades of the series B and C-series rack mounts, which are integrated with UCS Manager. No support for stand-alone C-Series.

• Kingston memory for servers in the UCS

  Hi all

  Can I use Kingston memory in the UCS servers? The price difference is about £100 per module!

  The servers are still in warranty and this will affect?

  Thank you

  Not supported! Managing memory (Cisco) is listed in the functional specifications of the blades.

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/UCS-b-se...

  If you install memory not Cisco, guaranteed material blade will be gone ;-)

• Plant of the UCS 1.2 (1f) TFTP question backup

  I noticed that a TFTP backup (full-State) of the UCS Center on version 1.2 (1f) does not work as a restoration, however if you run a local backup in the center of the UCS and download the file, you can use this one to restore via TFTP

  Obviously it's a problem if you have a claim and your UCS plant broke, it is possible that your backup TFTP files are of no use and so you do not have a backup

  I don't know if this has been resolved in later versions

  Hi Matthew,

  It is a known with Central FTP/TFTP problem:

  https://BST.cloudapps.Cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCuy09692/?reffering_site...

  You can choose to create local backups or use a linux as a backup host server. This issue should be resolved in version 1.5 Central.

  Thank you
